Project 1: Easter Bunny Ears Cupcake Toppers

These cute bunny ears toppers add a whimsical touch to your Easter cupcakes. Here’s how to make them:

Step 1: Design in Cricut Design Space

1. Open Cricut Design Space and upload bunny ears design. I found the ears in Cricut Design space and added a small rectangle at the bottom so I would have a place to put the leaves and flowers.
2. Adjust the size to fit your cupcakes (about 2–3 inches tall).
3. Cut the bunny ears and the flowers and leaves out on your Cricut.
4. Add a backing shape for stability if needed. I didn’t do this.

Step 2: Cutting the Cardstock

1. Place your colored cardstock on the Standard Grip cutting mat.
2. Load the mat into your Cricut machine and let it cut the bunny ear shapes, rosettes and leaves.
3. If you want a layered look, cut the inner ear shapes in a lighter shade.

Step 3: Assembling the Toppers

1. Attach the inner ear pieces to the larger bunny ears base using adhesive.
2. Roll the rosettes into flowers, adding hot glue to the bottom of the flower to keep its shape.
3. Glue flowers and leaves on the bottom area of the ears.
4. Glue the assembled ears to a toothpick.
5. Let them dry before inserting them into your cupcakes.

Your adorable bunny ear cupcake toppers are now ready to hop into your Easter celebration!

Project 2: Happy Easter Alphabet Boxes

You can purchase the cake topper and cupcake toppers in my store if you don’t want to or don’t have time to make them. K Peck’s Party Cafe

These alphabet boxes create a stunning Easter display, perfect for mantels, tables, or party setups. They spell out Happy Easter in a 3D format, making them a standout piece of decor.

Step 1: Creating the Box Design

1. In Cricut Design Space, upload files and cut out on your Cricut.
2. I didn’t resize the colored boxes, but I did have to make the white boxes just a tad bigger.

Step 2: Cutting the Cardstock

1. Load the 12×12 colored cardstock (Encore collection) onto your mat and cut out the inside boxes.
2. Use white cardstock for the outer letter boxes and cut them separately.

Step 3: Assembling the Word Boxes

1. Fold along the score lines and assemble the colored cardstock into cube-shaped boxes using liquid adhesive.
2. Repeat the process for the white letter boxes.
3. Place the colored boxes inside the white boxes and glue shut.

Now, you have a stunning Happy Easter word display that can be used as a table centerpiece or home decor!
